After watching Episode I (and buying a new 320gb hard drive), I have decided to edit this terrible film for my own private collection. I have seen Magnoliafan’s edit, and yes, I do like it. But I want mine to be a bit more conservative. I dont want to subtitle anyone, or even change the title or opening scroll. Basically, I just want to take out the childish scenes, clips, and sayings. This, of course, means that my focus will mainly be on Jar Jar.
I have worked on several projects with Adobe Premiere, so I’m not a total newbie.
Here’s what I want to do:
- Rip the dvd to the disk, in an uncompressed AVI
- Cut various parts of the film
- Add a couple deleted scenes
- Convert to MPEG-2 with CCE, so that it will fit nicely on a Dual Layer DVD+R
My question is, what should I use for steps all this?
- Ripping the dvd to an uncompressed AVI isnt difficult, but what program would be the best?
2 & 3) I would like to use Adobe Premiere because I am very fimiliar with it. If I do use it, will it be able to output an uncompressed AVI without losing any quality. I know this is a stupid question, but I’ve only used premiere to save a video to a different format, I’ve never saved to an uncompressed AVI.
BTW, I have a PC.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
THANK YOU
